  • Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County- A found footage film that beat Blair Witch out of the gate by a year. A family gets together for an awkward Thanksgiving dinner when the power goes out. The three adult sons go out to investigate and quickly piss off some aliens trying to mutilate the neighbor's cow. Much freaking out, hollering and abducting ensues. It's basically Night of the Living Dead with aliens and a camcorder. The acting and dialogue won't win any awards, but it's a decent little thriller that needs a DVD release. Watch this flick instead of Signs.

    Highway to Hell- A horror adventure comedy from '91 featuring a bunch of familiar faces including Chad Lowe, Kristy Swanson, Richard Farnsworth, the whole Stiller family, Gilbert Gottfried, Lita Ford and one of the dudes who played Jason Voorhees. It's the story of two young lovebirds eloping to Vegas when everything goes to shit. The young lady gets kidnapped by a demon cop and taken to Hell where she is to be one of Satan's virgin brides. And of course our hero must pull off the ultimate cock block. Highlights include a demon lady make out session, dozens of Andy Warhols paving the road with body parts, zombie hand cuffs and Hitler in a strip club. Hell mostly looks like the Arizona desert, but here and there the art department pulls off something cool. Not nearly as good as it should be, but still chock full of chunky goodness left over from the late 80's.

    • The Haunted Palace (1963) -- I watched. I liked it. Time to put it on the shelf... ;) (Anyone else notice that most of the Corman/Price films end with the house burning down?)

        If you watch a couple in a row you will quickly notice that he recycled the SAME burn footage over and over.

              The footage of the burning barn from Orange County, that Corman first used in House of Usher (1960) and went on to use elements of that footage in nearly every Poe film? Never noticed... ;)

                    • Late beer.

                      INSIDIOUS (meh)
                      HEADLESS EYES (I found an old UK VHS of this in Cult Videotheek in Amsterdam and managed to snaffle it for just 3 Euros)

                      • I liked Insidious more than I thought I would.

                        Last night? Lady Frankenstein - the longer, spliced together from three different sources cut. Cool to see the extra footage here even if the difference in quality between the film sourced bits (which is probably 90% of the movie) and the TV broadcast bits (8% of the movie) and the shitty old tape sourced bits (2%) of the movie is a bit jarring - I'm glad Shout! did this rather than just go with the shorter version (which is also included here and looks good as it's all film sourced from what I saw spot checking it last night).

                        The movie holds up well. Rosalba Neri gets naked a couple of times, Joseph Cotton is cranky, the monster is fucking awesome and there are a lot of brains and things sort of scattered about.

                        Rock! Shock! Pop!

                        • Uninhabited (2010) -- weensy little Aussie horror about two kids who go to a remote island amidst the Great Barrier Reef for a ten day vacation. Funny shit happens, and they blame that on some nearby illegal foreign fishermen, but then other weird things happen that aren't so easy to explain. As I expected it would be, this was great. BUT, it's not a horror film for gorehounds or "boo! hahaha!" fans; it's a very slow-burn ambient character study. Kind of like a low-key Long Weekend, really...more soon-ish on TBE, along with Ian's requested review.

                            I was enjoying it and then they suddenly threw everything plus the kitchen sink at it. It was a carny ghost train, I suppose.

                            • First five episodes of BOB, the Newhart show where he's a cartoonist. This seemed to be a very accurate and realistic examination of the artist's life. Everybody's wacky (except Bob). There's an Andy Dick type character that makes my fillings ache, and Bob's had better wives, but I watched 'em all in a row and there don't seem to be any more. I don't know why, but I'd BWKOS this if they'd put it out on DVD.

                              • Linda Blair and her massive shoulder pads visit her parents in the mountains. Her dad is an SFX guy who likes masks. She and her pal get into trouble with 'punkers' - one of whom is Robert Z'dar - and this leads to a home invasion and some death. BUT... a disfigured relative named Patrick who is holed up in a secret room gets loose and goes nuts. Meanwhile, cops yell at the punkers a lot.
